Unidentified “Sea Monster” Washes Ashore In New Zealand

” Another day, another monster? Not quite, this time. A large aquatic animal, apparently carnivorous, has washed up in New Zealand. The body is badly decomposed, and suggests a crocodilian head with a twin fin tail.

A marine mammal expert from the Museum of New Zealand, Anton van Helden, told NZ media that based on the creature’s fins, it was most likely to be a killer whale. The body had probably been floating around at sea for some time before it washed up, he said.
